CLEAN BURN
CORN ADDITIVE
TM
AMERICAN ENERGY SYSTEMS INC. HAS DEVELOPED AN ADDITIVE THAT
WHEN MIXED WITH CORN VIRTUALLY ELIMINATES THE (CLINKERING) THAT
IS CAUSED BY THE COMBUSTION PROCESS OF BURNING CORN.
HOW DOES IT WORK AND WHY DO YOU NEED IT?
The clean burn additive is a unique blend of the right ingredients that will
oxygenate the combustion process producing a cleaner more productive fire. This will
generate more BTU’S out of corn, clean up the combustion process and produce less ash.
HOW DO YOU MIX THE CLEAN BURN ADDITIVE?
Depending on how much starch or protein content that you have in your corn
supply you will have to change the percentage of mixture. The normal mixture is a ratio of
one (1) part Clean Burn additive to 150 parts of corn. This translates to approximately 1 &
1/3 pounds of Clean Burn for every hopper of corn. ( app. 5-6 handful’s )
To mix the Clean Burn additive simply add it to the corn and mix in by hand.
If you have corn with low starch content you may be able to decrease the mixture, and corn
with high starch content will require more. The easiest way to tell if the mixture is right is,
after a day of burning, look at the Fuel Stirrer in the Firepot and if there is any buildup of
clinker on the fingers you need to increase the mixture.
If there is excessive white powder in the firepot you can decrease the mixture.
Using the Clean Burn additive will reduce maintenance, ash content, buildup in the firepot,
fly-ash on the outside of the home and will increase the heat output. The additional heat
output will more than pay for the cost of the additive.
CAN I STILL USE OYSTER SHELLS AS AN ADDITIVE?
We have found that the oyster shells, even though they will work, causes auger
jams, pre-mature wear or damage to the auger motor and excessive ash buildup. We do
not recommend that you use oyster shells and if you do use them it will void warranty on
the auger system. Mixing in a small handful per hopper will not hurt the system.
